Travel alarm clocks can have varying instructions, depending on the type of clock you are using. Here are some tips for use that will apply to any alarm clock.

1. Power source
   • Travel alarm clocks will need to have some sort of power source. Depending on the type of alarm clock, it might be battery-powered or it might have a cord that needs to be plugged in. Battery-powered alarm clocks can take mini watch batteries, AAA batteries or sometimes AA batteries. Travel alarm clocks, because of their tiny size, usually have the small batteries that need to be bought from a watch store or a dollar store. Before you leave, make sure you have a working power source and can turn it on.
     
   Changing the time
   • After you reach your final destination, power the alarm clock on. Now you'll need to set the time and date correctly. Check a watch, cell phone or television to get the exact time and locate the buttons or dials on your alarm clock. On some, there will be a "time" or an "hour" button you need to press and hold to activate the alarm time change. While you are holding it down, turn the dial, press the hour button or press the (+) button until you notice a time change. On others, simply pressing the hour or minute button will let you change the time shown.
     
   Setting AM/PM
   • The AM/PM option is critical in setting your alarm clock correctly. Make sure the LCD display on your clock has a light beside the correct AM or PM setting, or look for the letters AM or PM on the display. If you get this wrong, the alarm won't go off in the morning!
     
   Setting alarm time
   • To set the alarm time, look for a button or a switch that says alarm. If there is a switch, move it to the alarm setting. If it is a button, you'll need to hold it down until the time starts flashing, signaling time to change the hours and minutes to the desired alarm time, or hold it down while you press the hours and minutes buttons to reach the alarm time you want.
     
   Turn alarm on
   • Now double-check that your regular and alarm times are correct by switching the switch back and forth again, or by pressing the alarm/time buttons long enough to read the time set. There should be a picture of a bell somewhere on your LCD display showing that the alarm is set to "on." If there isn't, look for the on/off alarm button and move it to the correct position.
     
   Music options
   • The last step is finding the alarm wake-up option. Not all travel alarm clocks have this option, but if yours does there will be a switch or button that lets you choose to wake up by a buzzer, the radio, a CD, or another device.

There is not much that is repairable with smoke detectors, BUT they need to be replaced every 8 to 10 years as the sensitivity declines, MUCH more in homes with smokers....
Just change the detector out, your life is worth it.

The chirping is definitely the low battery warning. Are you sure the battery you put in was good? I would definitely double check the battery using a meter.

Greetings.

According to the product manual, press the 'ALARM ON/OFF' button on the back of the clock until the bell symbol and 'Zz' disappear from the display screen. These symbols are between the hour and minute digiits, above the colon ( : ).

Good luck from Detroit, MI.

try this, remove the unit and take out the battery you will see 4 small rubber plugs in the back.
remove these and take out the 4 screws, you will find a lot of dust and insects in there, gently blow out with compressed air and the sensor as well.
I did 2 problem ones in my house and now they are working fine

Key in the 4 digit passwrrd and press "A" button, this will delay for a few minutes for you to leave the house, lock the door before activation.

If you are at home and want to arm the alarm immediately, key in your 4 digit password and press H button and the alarm will arm immediately (except certain zone such as IR, since you do not want to trigger this while moving around inside the house).

To disarm just input the 4 digit password. Please see or download the manual attached for programming new password and other functions.

Have you done a search on the internet for your Alarm and model?

I did a quick one, and came up with this--

You may need to dig a bit deeper---

Let me know how you make out--

Hi,
The sensor inside can go bad and that is not repairable...

you may need to replace the smoke alarm..

heatman101

CO2 and Smoke detectors have an internal sensor that has a design life of 5 years from the date of manufacture. After the 5 years you start getting false alarms due to the sensor itself exceeding its average life span. On the combination CO2 and Smoke deterctors you will often see a manufacture date or a replace by date inside the cover on the main board.
On AC powered models such as this one you will just get the error when the sensor fails. If you got the full 5+ years out of your CO2 sensor then you should be happy that it served a full life expectancy.

Some Wiki data on CO2 detectors:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_detector

This paragragh appears under installation

The gas sensors in CO alarms have a limited and indeterminable life span, typically two to five years. The test button on a CO alarm only tests the battery and circuitry not the sensor. CO alarms should be tested with an external source of calibrated test gas, as recommended by the latest version of NFPA 720. Alarms over five years old should be replaced but they should be checked on installation and at least annually during the manufacturers warranty period.

Thanks for choosing FixYa.
